Almadraba, the Tuna Beach

Hundreds of years ago, the fishermen used to come to this beach to catch tuna. They used an ancient arabic technique and this is where the name of this beach comes from.
Next to the sailing club and with a lovely generations-old beach bar (you have to try the sardines and squid, fantastic!) this little beach has one of the few working wooden walkways remaining in the province.

10 minutes by bus from the city center, this beach is a great place to chill out at night, when temperatures are still high: fishing, family picnics and the unmissable Noche de San Juan, on June 23rd, when Alicantinos make bonfires, write their wishes on a piece of paper and burn them in the flames.
